Ingredients:

    * 1 package Bordens Country Store mashed potatoes (2-0z. size)
    * 1 1/2 cups water
    * 1 tablespoon Butter Buds
    * 3 tablespoons dry milk powder
    * 1 - 6 3/4 oz. can chunked ham
    * 2 tablespoons margerine
    * Seasonong salt and pepper to taste

   
Directions:
Mix the milk powder in 1/2 cup of cold water. Bring one cup of water and Butter Buds to a boil in a small saucepan over high heat. Remove from the heat and add the 1/2 cup of milk. Blend well. Add the entire packet of potato flakes and stir until the flakes are absorbed and the mixture is smooth and moist. Beat briskly with a fork and set aside. Open the can of ham. Put the margerine in a frying pan and melt it over a medium flame. Flake the ham and add half the can tohe margerine. Fry briefly to heat the ham through and get it crispy. Portion the meat in the pan into 4 piles and top each portion with two tablespoons of mashed potatoes. Press the potato and ham into patties. Adjust your stove to a low steady flame, and fry the patties until they are browned, about two minutes. Brown the other side. Sprinkle with seasoning salt and pepper to taste. The ham will add some salt to the patties so use the seasoning salt sparingly. When the first batch of patties is ready, repeat the process with the rest of the ham and potatoes. Serve with a fruit drink, a hot beverage and some hearty Wasa Rye for a breakfast that will hold you through lunch.
